FOCUS AREAS
 
KEY TAKE AWAYS
  • This program covers the important aspects of the following Core tools of quality: 

    • Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) to define a process that creates a roadmap for developing new products complete with time-based milestones and decision points along the way. 
    • Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), a core tool that enables identifying potential failure modes, assesses the risk of those failure modes and establishes action priorities to mitigate the highest priority risks. 
    • Measurement System Analysis (MSA), a critical core tool, guides you in the selection of appropriate measurement equipment in order to meet product quality requirements. 
    • Statistical Process Control (SPC) gives operators a tool to monitor stable processes and to identify when the process is going out of control due to special causes so that problems can be addressed before product quality is affected. 
    • Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) provides a formal, standardized framework for supplier-customer communications regarding the specification and quality requirements for products, parts and materials. 
    • Work shop methodology 
    • Group exercises
